“…Awareness of this link between erosion of biological and cultural integrity has led to the suggestion of hotspots and indices of biocultural diversity ( Loh and Harmon, 2005 , Loh and Harmon, 2014 ). It is not surprising that hotspots of biological and biocultural diversity overlap considerably, and is a useful reminder of the interdependence of natural and human diversity ( Hamilton et al., 2017 ).…”

Plant Diversity

Impacts of global climate change, habitat loss, and other environmental changes on the world's biota and peoples continue to increase, especially on islands and in high elevation areas. Just as floristic diversity is affected by environmental change, so too are cultural and linguistic diversity. Of the approximately 7000 extant languages in the world, fully 50% are considered to be at risk of extinction, which is considerably higher than most estimates of extinction risks to plants and animals. To maintain the integrity of plant life, it is not enough for botanic gardens to consider solely the effects of environmental change on plants within the context of major conservation strategies such as the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Rather, botanic gardens should actively engage in understanding and communicating the broader impacts of environmental change to biological and cultural diversity.

This study aims to investigate the effects of working capital management on firm profitability of listed manufacturing companies in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses account payables, inventory turnover, account receivables, cash conversion cycle, firm size, growth, leverage and current ratio as accounting information variables. Secondary data was collected for all variables over a ten-year period, i.e. 2009 to 2018 and was obtained from the annual report published via Bursa Malaysia (Malaysian Stock Exchange) official website. Data was analyzed by using IBM SPSS Statistics Subscription software. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were utilized in this study. Findings: The results revealed that inventory turnover in days, account receivables and firm size have a positive significant relationship with manufacturing firms' profitability, while account payables and cash conversion cycle have a positive insignificant relationship. Research limitations/implications:The sample size is too small for any generalization. A mixed method approach in the future could contribute to a holistic finding. Practical implications: Since these variables contained significant influence on firm profitability, it is recommended that listed manufacturing companies should prepare a complete and timely manner of accounting information based on the regulation context in Malaysia. Social implications: It provides an empirical evidence on the importance of working capital management amongst the manufacturing concerns in Malaysia and its impact on its business sustainability. Originality/value: This study contributes to the limited research on working capital management involving manufacturing companies in Malaysia.

“…environmental deprivation is irreversible (Poi, 2011). The single most important botanical task in eco-civilization construction is the conservation of plant species with their genetic diversity (Hamilton et al, 2017). The environmental factors affect the plant species composition and the establishment and stability of seedlings.…”

This study assessed the diversity composition and density of plant species at Dammam Region, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. Plant diversity is a vital component of any ecosystem. It is a wellknown fact that, worldwide, thousands of plant species are endangered and facing extinction with the current trend of their influence and destruction. Changes in the structure of the assortment of resources lessen plant community's opportunity to respond to new problems and occasions. Plant diversity is facing danger of new plant diseases or pests, species extinction, climatic changes and other obstructions. A survey of 12 different sites was done and botanic biodiversity was evaluated. The plant diversity was evaluated by applying different methods namely: relative abundance index, species richness D* index and Shannon-Weaver index. It is clear that many plant species and habitats of Dammam area are subjected to severe disturbance due to new constructions without environmental impact assessment.
